Comment. This species was transferred from Dingosa Roewer, 1955 , a genus known from Australia, to Trochosa ( Mozaffarian & Marusik, 2001) because the epigyne drawn by Roewer (1955a: fig. 11) corresponds well to Trochosa . Examination of the type revealed that the epigyne was inaccurately drawn (cf. Figs. 13B and 13C View FIGURE 13 ) and that the holotype female has a pattern typical to Pardosa s.l. Judging from the epigyne, it may belong to the Pardosa nebulosa -group. This group was once considered a separate genus, Acroniops Simon, 1898 , currently a junior synonym of Pardosa C.L. Koch, 1847 . The new combination provided for Roewer’s species led to secondary homonymy with Pardosa persica Marusik, Ballarin & Omelko, 2012 , the species belonging to the Pardosa monticola - group that was also once considered a separate genus, Pardosops Roewer, 1955 . In any case, we herein replace the secondary junior homonym with P. persiana nom. n. (pro Pardosa persica Marusik, Ballarin & Omelko, 2012 ).
